Was the McLaren F1 ever available in the US? I know there are some here, I just don't know if they were "officially" sold here.

I also just found out that Koeniggseg does sell cars in the US, wouldn't mind trying out a CCX.

McLaren's were sold. The guys that bought them the first year complained because they would overheat when they weren't doing 50mph plus for too long. So you don't see them for that reason. Plus I believe only like 8 were purchased and for some reason I thought 1 guy bought two. This is a while ago and my memory is short though.

Ralph Lauren has one, that he actually drives. And with a 3k-5k clutch life Mclaren maintenance isn't for the faint of heart or wallet.

I was thinking Calvin Klein was the guy but I think it's Lauren and I believe he actually has 2. I just couldn't remember the name so I didn't post it. I really think if you look it up no one drives them because they can't even sit at a stop light more than 3 or 4 times without the overheat. It's too bad that IMHO was the first real supercar and should hold that status because it was just so damn fast for the time

My forbidden fruit will be a reality in 5-8 years when my brother and I find the time to build an Ultima GTR. Oh yes, it will be mine.

That would be the new Q5 you are talking about, which is now for sale in the US:


The RS4 Avant is the wagon, so like the A4 or S4 Avants but sportier and with 420 hp

You my friend are a true automotive enthusiast! A GTR 800 would certainly do the trick for me!
